CORNER FASTENING FOR METAL BED APPLICATION HLE) NOV, 8,1920.

Befi'tg kno-Wnv that l, RUBIN G-oLDnERG, a 4slribge'vc't'fof tli'eKing of Roumanla, having tiled niy ,papers `for citizenship in the United States' ofi/america, now residing in the boroughg'of Brooklyn., in the county ci' Kings, city of Nev? York, in the State of .New York, have'frnade certainnevv and useful improve nient'sfin Corner-Fastenings for Metal Bed- 'st'eadsg-andvl do hereby declare the following specification to be a full and clear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

rllis invention relates to improved devices for readily Securing the head and foot pieces of a bedstead to the side pieces thereof, in a rigid manner, the binding mechanism be ing adapted for combination with a separa-.te

on the part A is constructed in a square orination with a recs'sangularholloiv center space which 1s surrounded by outer Walls a, o', c, and' bn. @n the exterior of .one side of the part A, is a Wing e extending at right angles iromthe outer wall c, which enables these vtwo parte to enibrace and itjsnugiy one angle oi' the corner post l The hollov rectangular partir iscast with a nolder c, adapted to project into the corner post f through an opening fr, at the corner thereof and is secured in position by the insertion oi" a tapering pin D, Thestaple i, has one. of ends terminating in the wing piece e, the other end in the Wall c of the part la.

The outer Wall Z), of the hollen7 rectangnlar body piece A, is pierced with a vertical Slot/7L, which is open at the top and is of the proper Width to receive snugly the locking `piece @n the interior oli the hollow square of A., is cast a vertical rib g, extending inward, positioned on the Wall c, opposite the opening h, `vhichrib Will corinne tne end of E, between it and the Wall c, when .l slipped into place. The underside of E, is cnt away so as to provide-an open slot shown at Fig. JJ, which fits over the lower 'portion of the Wall of The interior face ci `the Wall a, is flush with one side oi the vertical slot it, in thesvvall i), so when in locked position oneside of the end of the tongue of B, liesv flat against the interior liace oi the Wall a. The end of the tongue of B will then be confined between the keeping rib g, and the Wall a., so it is rigidly braced against any movernient oi the parts.

l preferably employ a fastening staple i, cast on the outer part of A to make connection with. the corner post. in order to obtaina rigid and efficient connection at this point one end oi2 the staple i, terminates in the Wall c, and the other end in the angle plate e. The pin l), is curved' on one side used to hold the part A to `the post by being passed into the staple from the top. it will be observed that the pin D, is oft tapering .formation along its length which Will act to i'irinly Wedge the part A to the post when lforced' down.

'the transverse slot r, made in the corner ofl the post C, into the interior thereof.

In this manner the rectangular corner of C and the embracing rectangle formed by the wing e, and wall c, are brought together so that by inserting and pressing down the pin D7 a Very rigid fastening is obtained between the hollow rectangular section and the corner post.

The tongue piece B is pierced with holes to receive the fastening screw bolts s, s, which secure it to the side piece "Gr, and the end piece E, is secured'to the wings lc, and Z, by screw bolts t.

Having Ithus described my improvements what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

In a cast metal corner fastening for metal beds a hollow rectangular body part A, having four Vertical walls, an exterior vertical wing piece e, projecting outwardly at right angles from one side of the body part, forming an angle adapted to embrace one corner of a rectangular corner post of a bedstead, a vertical slot opening 71 in the wall of said hollow body part at the diagonally opposite corner from said wing e, said slot opening extending half way down from the top of said body part, a vertical rib g, projecting from lthe interior wall oi said hollow rectangular structure positioned at a point opposite said slot opening and means for readily securing tlie said rectangular body part to one corner of a rectangular bed post and detaching saine therefrom, and means for securing said body part to the side of a bed stead, substantially as shown and described.
